Podcast Episode 107: Why You Need to Stop Using Behavior Charts Right Now!

Oh the good old behavior chart! Full of promise, hope, and stickers! I remember using those whole potty training both my kids. While it worked great for a few days, it always seemed to cause a headache when my kids wanted the reward without completing the chart or when it took bigger and better things to coax them along. But did I really teach my kids anything other than “do what mommy asks and you’ll get a reward”? I don’t think so. I actually stopped using behavior charts years ago.

Sure, behavior charts might help with one or two challenging behaviors, but it does little to teach and change kids behaviors in the long run. There are better and much more effective ways to manage the whining, fighting, talking back, and everything else.
